NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

SPECIFECATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 593,117, dated November 2, 1897.

Application illed August Z7, 1897. Serial No. 649,712. (No model.)

manently itted to the disk h to inclose and To @ZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ALEXANDER E. PETER- SON, of New York city, county and State of New York, have invented an Improved Non- Refillable Bottle, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a non-rellable bottle which is of simple construction and in which a body of air is admitted near the bottom of the bottle and beneath the liquid during the discharge to expedite the outflow.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis a longitudinal section of iny improved nonrellable bottle; Fig. 2, a cross-section on line 2 2, Fig. l; Fig. 3, a cross-section on line 3 3, Fig. 1, with the bottle omitted; and Fig. 4, a longitudinal section through the upper part of the bottle, showing the position of the parts when'the bottle is tilted.

The letter .A represents a bottle, into the neck a of which a disk b is securely fastened by 'a packing c, engaging opposing grooves in the neck and disk. From the disk h projects upwardly a liquid-discharge tube d, communicating at the bottom with a corresponding opening bof the disk and closed on top by a valve d', which is drawn normally upon its seat by a weak spring d2. A second smaller opening h2 of disk b communicates at its lower side with a long air-tube e, that reaches nearly to the bottom of the vessel A and is placed side by side to the tuberi, so that the egress of the liquid will not interfere with the ingress of the air.

At its top the air-tube is normally closed by a valve e', the stem e2 of which passes through the valve-seat es.

The valve e is connected to and movable with the stein d3 of valve CZ. This stem is guided within a pair of grooved ways d of tube CZ, which tube is made with a rentrant angle d5 to provide an exterior chamber for the reception of the valve-stem, Fig. 3. A cap f, having discharge-openings f', is perprotect the valves and operating Inechanism.

N ormally-both the valves d e are closed to close both the liquid-tube d and air-tube e. When the bottle is tilted, the weight of the liquid will open valve d (against action of weak spring cl2) and also valve e', because the latter is connected to the valve-stem d3. Thus the liquid is free to flow out of the bottle, the flow being greatly assisted by the influx of air into the bottom of the bottle beneath the body of the liquid. As soon as the bottle is righted both valves will be at once closed by the spring d?.

What I claim isl. In a non-reillable bottle, the combination of a perforated disk with an upwardlyextending liquid-discharge tube, and a downwardly-extending air-tube placed side by side, and with a pair of coacting valves that control such tubes, substantially as specified.

2. In a non-refillable bottle, the combination of aperforated disk with an upwardlyextending liquid-discharge tube, and a downwardly-extendin g air-tube placed side by side, a valve d', having a stem d3, for closing the liquid-tube, a valve c', for closing the airtube and connected to the stem d3, and a perforated cap which incloses the valves, substantially as specied.

3. In a non-reiillable bottle, the combination Aof a perforated disk with an upwardlyextending liquidlischarge tube having a reentrant angle and exterior guideways, avalve d, having a stern d3, engaging the same, an air-tube depending from the disk, a valve e', for closing the same and connected to stem d3, and a perforated cap which incloses the valves, substantially as specified.
